The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the morning brightness 1 and by the night when it darkens, 2 Thy Sustainer has not forsaken thee, nor does He scorn thee: 3 And indeed the latter is better for you than the former. 4 And indeed your Lord will soon give you so much that you will be pleased. (Allah seeks to please the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 5 Did He not find thee an orphan, and shelter thee? 6 And He found thee wandering, so He guided thee, 7 And find you in want and make you to be free from want? 8 So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him]. 9 And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him]. 10 But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim! 11
